You guys probably already know that we’re big fans of Brendan Benson, so when Rachael Ray invited us to her private SXSW party to hear him play, we were there. (Disclaimer: Rachael did not invite us personally, it was worked out through a press agent. Rachael never even returns our calls anymore. What’s up with that Rach? I thought we were tight.) ANYWAY, the party was full of all kinds of fun things like free booze and food, including my Austin favorite, YupaYuma burgers (try one if you get down there). We kicked back and relaxed with way too much patron and enjoyed the sounds of our guy, Mr. Benson. Check out the footage.
